Normal Ride start location is the parking lot at the back side of Mission Park between Santa Clara Street and Main Street in Ventura. Winter (Dec,Jan,Feb) rides begin at 8:30am. Spring ride schedule starts at 8:00am unless otherwise noted. There is a "Show and Go" ride anytime there is a holiday. Show and Go's begin at 8 am. There are also "Remote Rides" that start at a location out of the City of Ventura. Helmets required on all rides. Please remember to bring spare tube, patch kit, pump, cell phone, route map, route slip, food and sufficient water. Always let club members know at the time you decide to alter the route, extend the route or shorten the route during the ride. Always ride with a club member, never alone. Bicycling is a naturally hazardous activity because we ride on roads that cars navigate. Please be aware, be alert and always look twice before turning or passing. And remember, cycling is always fun!
Remember your cell phone for safety!
No spare tube
& no cell phone, oops!
